Absolute perfection

We wanted a barn wedding but in December that can be tricky. When we first got to Loch Narin we knew immediately this was our place. If you haven’t been to the Greathouse during the Holidays you’re missing out. It’s decorated in the most magical way; Anthropologie meets rustic charm. It was cozy, beautiful and enchanting, our guests still rave about it.
We had both our ceremony and reception here and it was seamless. The entire staff at Loch Narin is truly amazing and personable... however, Carolyn was our coordinator and she made sure every detail was perfect. I was a little late and Carolyn handled that in stride as well. We could not have asked for a better experience than what we had at Loch Narin, now we (try) to go back
And celebrate our anniversary every year. It’s truly a magical place.

Loch Nairn Wedding Venue

Loch Nairn was a beautiful small rustic venue for me and my husband. It is so cozy and we were able to have the entire restaurant to ourselves. The cocktail hour room and reception room are already so beautifully decorated so I did not need to spend heavily or flowers or decor to make the room great. The coordinators I worked with were fantastic and made my day exactly how I wanted with flexibility. Would highly recommend.

I can't say enough good things about my wedding at Loch Nairn. Carolyn not only handled every detail and made the day perfect but she was fun and made us comfortable from the first time we met with her. We did not have to think about anything. The venue is beautiful and the food was exceptional. All our guests raved about the location, the food and more importantly the staff. We are already planning to have our daughter's Bridal Shower at Loch Nairn. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone planning not only a wedding but any other event. Thanks Carolyn and staff, there isn't a thing we would change about our Wedding Day thanks to all of you.

The venue is stunning! Barbara, the on-site coordinator makes sure the whole day runs smoothly. We had a winter wedding and everything was already decorated beautifully which added to the already breathtaking farmhouse-vibe. The main reason we went with Loch Nairn was the food and they did not disappoint. It was so delicious!!!!!! The staff is great and made sure the guests were well taken care of. We used both the Greathouse and the round room the whole night which was great for the guests that wanted to take a break from dancing and go somewhere quieter. We had around 100 people and it was the perfect size!

Everyone must go see Carolyn at Loch Nairn for their wedding. Not only is this venue beautiful but Carolyn made my experience amazing.

To our surprise for our recent wedding, the venue was open. Upon meeting the one of the venues coordinator, Carolyn, all my wedding questions were answered. Carolyn listened to what we wanted, gave us the best options to choose from and listened to what our budget was. We met here multiple times to go over wedding details and anytime I had a question she got back to me asap.

Every bride is nervous the day of the wedding but Carolyn was there every step of the way to help my bridal party, the guests, of course my new husband and his best men. Even when I I was delayed Carolyn was there just like my sisters in my bridal party, not only helping me, but changing our cocktail hour so no one noticed anything.

Carolyn thank you for giving me the wedding of my dreams. If you want a magical venue, food everyone can't stop raving about and a venue coordinator who truly acts like your coordinator see Carolyn at Loch Nairn.

We can't express enough, how wonderful our wedding was at Loch Nairn, because of Barbara Barnes and her exceptional staff. From the very first time we met her back in March, we were treated like a King & Queen. I personally, have never experienced customer service to the extent that she gave,beyond our wildest expectations. We are not spring chickens and this is not our first rodeo, so we know what we are talking about. All of our guests, experienced, the same treatment, and thought that our wedding was spectacular and that the venue was beautiful. It was truly magical, and I am so happy we chose Loch Nairn for our wedding.

My husband and I had our June wedding ceremony and reception at Loch Nairn. As soon as we saw the venue after we got engaged, we knew that this site was perfect for us. We worked with Carolyn throughout the wedding planning process, and I can't say enough good things about her. I feel very lucky that she was there for us every step of the way. I felt so much more at ease on our wedding day knowing that Carolyn was there. We were married outside under the big tree, and the views were beautiful. The Greathouse is quaint, warm and inviting. The food is amazing, and we highly recommend the crab cakes. We used both the "Great Room" and the "Round Room" for our cocktail hour and reception due to our number of guests. While I initially had some concerns about having our guests split between two rooms, it worked out very well. The rooms flow (and are both so charming). If you are looking for a wedding venue, I would recommend checking out Loch Nairn.

We had both our ceremony and reception at Loch Nairn. It was absolutely perfect and our guests are still raving about the food, atmosphere, and the service. Several family members stated it was the best wedding they had been to! Barbara is amazing! She is so attentive and so on top of everything. She made me feel at ease and has helpful hints as you go along in your planning. Our parents were so pleased and felt so taken care of the entire time by her! She went as far as to track my mom down while she was being swept away by guests to make sure she ate! The food is amazing - some weddings I've been to I've felt like I didn't have enough to eat. Our guests were saying they were still stuffed several days later ;-) The service the staff provided was beyond excellent. There was always someone there to wait on you and drinks were kept flowing. The atmosphere at Loch Nairn is so charming, it's amazing. The day was perfect and we coudn't be more happier. Thank you Barbara and Loch Nairn!

What a perfect wedding venue! We had both our ceremony and reception here and could not have been happier. The wedding coordinator, Barbara Barnes, is on the ball and very detail oriented, which makes for a flawless wedding day. Barbara stayed the entire night, which was very much appreciated. Our guests could not stop talking about the beauty and charm of this venue - I would definitely recommend!!
